Balatar

Balatar, cousin-german to Lord Amandir, has kept the lower hall of Ethring these forty years and is reckoned among the last men living who remembers the funeral of Steward Turgon. He is broad-shouldered yet, though his beard is wholly white, and the household captains seek him out for tales of campaigns long ended. He stands with his kinsman Amandir for the King, saying it is meet that an old man should see the old oath fulfilled ere he is laid in stone.
